Is there a way to mass change images?

I'm throwing audiobooks onto my server, setting up as a book library type. Things seem to work pretty well overall, but info needs to be manually added. No biggie, anyway, I grabbed some nice cover art and prettied things up, but a lot of the audiobooks have no images for chapters. I went through one book chapter by chapter, but there has to be an easier way. Can I somehow select all chapters and mass change the primary image? Or is there a way to use the parent folder image and apply to everything in the folder? My folder setup is: author>series>book>chapters. I'd like to easily apply the primary image from the "book" folder to everything in the "chapters" folder

If the files are mp3 then you could use MP3Tag to assign an image to each file (support multiple file updates at same time) 

 

I am just doing some podcasts and adding images to each file so they appear better in emby

Did you find a way to bulk change them?  I am having the same issue.  Trying to do this for all my audio books is going to kill my mouse and my mind.

My setup is author-book title>files or author-series>book title>files. Go to the parent folder of your files, and add the image as a thumb image. It changes all images in the files folder. Since the images are thumbs it lacks and image treatments you may have, but it works

Thanks Jack, That did work - I just wasn't patient enough I guess for the server to propagate the images across the folders.  I did also try Penketh's solution to us MP3Tag and once I figured out how to use it - it worked as well.  Feel pretty silly when I can't skin a cat - and then there are two simple ways to do just that.  Cheers.
